New York at Kansas City

New York has won 11 of 13 and three in a row after defeating the Royals 10-1 on Tuesday as Aaron Judge hit his MLB-leading 25th home run and Kansas City was held to five hits. The Yankees improved to 26-11 on the road as they maintained their 2.5-game lead in the AL East. New York is 13-3 against opponents that scored two or fewer runs their previous game and the Royals have lost three in a row. Cody Poteet will make his fourth start and he has allowed only three earned runs in 15 2/3 innings for New York. Dan Altavilla was recalled from the minors where he has made 24 appearances this season with a 2.63 ERA. The Royals have scored a total of just seven runs the past four meetings with the Yankees dating to last season and New York allows only 3.23 runs per game in 2024. Take the Yankees as a Max Play, and bet the UNDER.
